They would be far better off making sure that women do NOT put on tfilin once, just to try it out, but they can pretend by using Pasul tfillin, or by placing the tfilin in the wrong spot.Michael Sedleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02684514303911193073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-68946840340540584102016-02-03T18:25:50.738+02:002016-02-03T18:25:50.738+02:00I didn&#39;t know what or expect it this soon, but...I didn&#39;t know what or expect it this soon, but I was expecting SOMETHING. If they don&#39;t have their monthly publicity grab any more, they needed to do something else to keep the cameras on them and their names in print.2senseplainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11839029160735530215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-70407207616699748642016-02-03T18:07:12.391+02:002016-02-03T18:07:12.391+02:00Not quite Chabadniks.
